CAC 40 Dips On US Debt Ceiling Worries

(RTTNews) - French stocks were slightly lower in cautious trade on Wednesday as investors awaited U.S. consumer price inflation data later in the day for additional clues on the Federal Reserve's rate hike path.

The benchmark CAC 40 was down 15 points, or 0.2 percent, at 7,381 after losing 0.6 percent in the previous session.

Lender Credit Agricole rallied nearly 5 percent after posting a record performance in the first quarter on higher trading revenue.

Train maker Alstom slumped 5.7 percent after delaying its mid-term targets.
